Adrian Peterson is still a shitty human being...

In 2014, Adrian Peterson was charged with felony child abuse, entered a plea deal to misdemeanor reckless assault, and was suspended from the NFL for beating his son. In a shocking new interview, Peterson has admitted that he still hits his son with a belt.

Peterson is no longer on probation for the previous abuse case, but his public admission could draw scrutiny from legal authorities. Different states have different laws about parents physically disciplining their children, and it is unclear from the Bleacher Report article where the incident with the belt took place.

Regardless of any legal issues, Peterson could also now face discipline from the NFL, which made clear when Peterson was suspended in 2014 that his reinstatement was dependent upon his agreeing to go through counseling and be a better father to his children.

“The timing of your potential reinstatement will be based on the results of the counseling and treatment program set forth in this decision,” the league told Peterson in a 2014 letter. “Under this two-step approach, the precise length of the suspension will depend on your actions. We are prepared to put in place a program that can help you to succeed, but no program can succeed without your genuine and continuing engagement. You must commit yourself to your counseling and rehabilitative effort, properly care for your children, and have no further violations of law or league policy.”

If the NFL views Peterson hitting his son with a belt as a failure to “properly care for your children,” he could be suspended regardless of whether he faces criminal charges. The NFL has made it clear with past incidents that players can be disciplined under the personal-conduct policy even if they are not criminally charged.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also told Peterson in a letter that Goodell found it troubling that, “You have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct.” That Peterson is now openly talking about hitting his son with a belt again suggests no meaningful remorse. Peterson may again find himself sanctioned for hitting his son.

I have a 4 year old daughter and I can't imagine anything she could ever do to leave cuts on her reproductive organs.

Christ.

I have no problem with parents using a belt, wooden paddle etc to spank children within reason. It's really no ones business unless it crosses that line.

Using an object to hit your kids is ****ed up. Maybe when someone is speeding the cop should just pull you out of your vehicle and hit you with a bat or when you are drunk and acting like an idiot you should be tazed.

Hit them with a brick

All I know is that that the guy has the meanest outside cut I've seen since 2000, Charles, Tomlinson, Holmes, etc included

LOL that makes you a POS neg rep to OP forever.

It's a part of the ****ing culture down South. Peterson probably believes in that shit more than he believes 2 + 2 = 4.

Somebody should take him out back and beat that parenting belief out of him. He needs to be tamed because he's just an unruly parent. And when you think he's learned his lesson, give him a few more good hits with the hope that he'll have some sense knocked into him!

My father had a paddle that he personally crafted, named Leroy (no idea why) with a scary, cartoonish face drawn on it.

My sister and my names were written on the board, and every spanking we received (always 1-3 swats, and it didn't count if we tried to block it or moved), counted as our tally, and whoever got to 5 first had to pay it off in extra chores.

My sister always "won."

Outlandish, perhaps, but it established clear-cut boundaries, set by functional adults, that surely helped us avoid long-term psychological dysfunction.

Adrian's case is definitely extreme by modern standards, but by the standards that my father lived through (1960-present), it's fairly normal.

How do you discipline your kids?

That's your opinion and you are welcomed to it. I completely disagree though and it's been an acceptable form of punishment throughout history. As long as it is infrequent and used correctly, it is a very healthy way of properly raising a child. If you go to far and too often then that's where problems begin. On the other side, if you don't discipline your children then that can be just as damaging for them.

I also would like to see corporal punishment become a part of our legal system like Singapore. For some offenses, I'd much rather have the justice system cane someone a few times instead of sentencing them to a jail for 6 months for some charges. Do it in a public setting and the crime rate will go down. It will also save a lot of tax payer money since we aren't jailing as many people. (Just caning, not cutting off hands like a few 3rd world countries)

And it's time for AP to grow the **** up and understand that what he learned as a child perhaps ISN'T the best way to do things, especially when it nearly cost him his multi-million earnings job.

I like how CP thinks of itself as a becon of mental health.
